Can someone please help me get started on a code that puts an icon in the stat menu. Like say next to your gold stat you wanted an icon. How would you do that? Thank you

You do this by putting the object itself in the stat panel. Since objects have icons attached, when it shows the object in the stat panel, it will show the icon with it.

I think Zilal wrote a BYONDscape article, and I think it's non-subscription, on this, if you'd care to look it up.

obj/gold
    icon = 'gold.dmi'


mob
    var
        goldicon
    New()
        ..()
        goldicon = new/obj/gold
    Stat()
        ..()
        statpanel("Gold")
        stat("Oooh, gold",goldicon)


Something like that?

Yes, but now that I have it showing the icon it won't let me set it so it shows the number anymore.

Code......

    Stat()
        stat("---Stats---",src.desc)
        if(src == usr) statpanel("Small Bag",src.contents)
        stat("HP: ",HP)
        stat("Strength: ",Strength)
        stat("Defence: ",Defence)
        stat("Gold: ",goldicon,Gold)///error
        stat("Hunger: ",Hunger)
        stat("Thirst: ",Thirst)
        if(src == usr) statpanel("Quest Status",)
        stat("Quests Finished: ",quests)
        stat("Corn: ",corn)

Mob.dm:102:error:stat :expected 1 to 2 arguments (found 3).

Click the "2002 Archive" link at the top of the page, then look for Z-Tips: Buttons in Statpanels.

(Or just click the link!)

If you have a goldicon set as an obj or atom of some kind, you can set goldicon.suffix="[gold] piece\s". Do this before the stat() call that shows goldicon. This should do exactly what you want.

If goldicon isn't an atom like an obj, suffix isn't a valid var. If it's just an icon, you can't set a suffix for it.
